Summary
Akshat S is a seasoned full-stack software developer with 13 years of experience building scalable enterprise applications, microservices, and cloud-native infrastructure, now advancing platform work as Software Developer 3 at Oracle. He blends deep Java expertise (Spring, SpringBoot, Micronaut) with practical experience in containers and orchestration (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, OpenShift) and a habit of automating tasks with Python and shell scripting. His background spans research institutions (TIFR, NCRA) to commercial products (Zimbra, StorageDNA), giving him a rare perspective on high-throughput scientific systems and production-grade collaboration software. An active FOSS advocate and long-time contributor to Debian-Astro, Zimbra, OWASP and local FOSS communities, he organizes outreach to bring open-source tools into education and research. Comfortable across backend, big-data stacks (Hadoop ecosystem) and Angular-based UIs, he often surfaces practical integrations between legacy systems and modern microservices. Outside day-to-day engineering, he maintains Debian packaging for astrophysics tools—an example of his appetite for applied open-source work that informs his production designs.
